Pedro Pablo Oliva

Creator of multiple shapes, diverse compositions rich in fantastic figures and elements, he uses and appropriates these to reflect the society that surrounds him. His island, as witness to time, has made him into a narrator and interpreter. Complex backgrounds invite this Cuban painter to come and show his colourful mastery and chromatic diversity. His works have become an obligatory reference point in the development of Cuban fine arts, for all art critics and fine arts historians. In recognition of his development as a creator he was awarded the National Prize for Fine Arts in 2006.
